Collector's  Letter  to  the  President  of  the  Chamber  of  Commerce. 

DECEMBER  21,  1871. 
Sir, 

The  Rates  of  Storage  and  Labor  chargeable  on  unclaimed 
goods,  established  in  1857,  and  approved  by  the  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce in  February  of  that  year,  have  remained  without  revision. 

The  large  increase  of  business,  and  the  requirements  of  commerce, 
demand  the  establishment  of  a  schedule  suitable  to  the  present  time. 
May  I  ask  the  co-operation  of  your  honorable  body  in  the  appoint- 
ment of  a  Committee  to  meet  with  a  Committee  of  the  Warehouse 
Proprietors,  and  a  Committee  from  this  office,  for  the  purpose  of 
fixing  a  scale  of  prices,  which  shall  be  agreed  upon  as  the  future 
charges  at  this  Port. 

I  am,  very  respectfully, 

C.  A.  ARTHUR, 

Collector. 
To  the,  President  of  the  Chamber  of  Commerce, 

New-York  City. 


,    Answer  to  the  above. 

FEBRUARY  2o,  ]  872. 
Mr.  C.  A.  ARTHUR, 

Collector  of  the  Port  of  New-  York  : 
Sir, 

In  response  to  your  letter  of  the  21st  December  last,  request- 
ing the  appointing  of  a  Committee  by  the  Chamber  of  Commerce 
to  unite  with  a  Committee  to  be  appointed  by  yourself,  and  a  Com- 
mittee to  be  appointed  by  the  Warehouse  Proprietors,  to  revise  the 
rates  of  storage,  &c.,  the  Chamber  of  Commerce,  at  its  meeting 
yesterday,  appointed  Messrs.  JONATHAN  STURGES,  WILLIAM  A. 
BOOTH,  ABRAM  S.  HEWITT  and  SOLON  HUMPHREYS  as  such  Com- 
mittee. 

The  Rooms  of  the  Chamber  are  at  the  disposal  of  the  Joint  Com- 
mittee whenever  they  are  desired. 

Your  obedient  servant, 
(Signed,)  GEORGE  WILSON, 

Secretary. 


RATES  OF  STORAGE  AND  LABOR 

ON 

IMPORTED  MERCHANDISE  DEPOSITED  IN  UNITED 

STATES  PRIVATE  BONDED  WAREHOUSES 

AT  THE  PORT  OF  NEW-YORK. 

Report  of  the  Special  Committee  of  the  Chamber 
of  Commerce  in  relation  thereto. 


To  the  Chamber  of  Commerce : 

THE  Special  Committee  appointed  to  confer  with  the  represent- 
atives of  the  Custom  House  authorities,  and  of  the  Warehousemen 
of  the  Port  of  New- York,  in  reference  to  a  revision  of  the  rates  of 
storage  heretofore  approved  by  the  Chamber  of  Commerce,  respect- 
fully report : 

That  the  several  Committees  met  on  the  6th  day  of  February, 
and  after  organizing  by  the  appointment  of  JONATHAN  STURGES,  as 
Chairman,  and  GEORGE  WILSON,  as  Secretary,  adopted  the  following 
resolution : 

"  Resolved,  That  the  Custom  House  Committee  be  requested  to 
prepare  a  complete  schedule  of  articles,  and  that  the  Committee  of 
Warehousemen  be  requested  to  submit  the  rates  of  storage  and 
labor  deemed  by  them  appropriate  thereto ;  and  that  the  said 
schedule  be  then  presented  to  this  Committee  for  the  purpose  of 
examination,  and  the  suggestion  of  such  modifications  as  may  be 
necessary  to  render  the  rates  acceptable  to  the  merchants  of  this 
port." 


XIV 

On  the  26th  clay  of  February  the  Joint  Committee  again  assem- 
bled, Avhen  the  revised  schedule  of  rates  recommended  by  the  Com- 
mittee of  the  Custom  House  and  the  representatives  of  the  "Ware- 
housemen was  presented,  whereupon  the  following  resolution  was 
adopted  : 

"  Resolved,  That  the  Secretary  cause  to  be  printed  the  list  of 
Storage  Rates  submitted  by  the  representatives  of  the  Warehouse- 
men and  the  representatives  of  the  Custom  House,  and  send  a  copy 
thereof  to  each  member  of  the  Chamber  of  Commerce,  and  to  such 
other  persons  as  may  apply  for  the  same,  with  a  request  that  the 
rates  be  examined  by  the  members,  and  if  any  objections  be  found, 
to  transmit  the  same  to  the  Secretary,  on  or  before  the  2d  day  of 
March;  and  if  no  objections  be  received,  the  rates  suggested  will 
be  regarded  by  the  Committee  as  unobjectionable  ;  but  if  any  objec- 
tions to  the  rates  be  made,  the  Committee  will  examine  into  the 
same  and  pass  thereon,  in  time  for  submission,  if  possible,  to  the 
Chamber  at  the  next  regular  meeting." 

At  the  time  appointed  the  Joint  Committee  again  met,  and  for 
two  successive  clays  carefully  considered  the  numerous  objections 
made  to  the  proposed  rates,  and  agreed  unanimously  upon  the 
schedule  of  revised  rates  herewith  submitted.  In  recommending 
these  rates  to  the  approval  of  the  Chamber,  your  Committee  deem  it 
proper,  in  view  of  a  misconception  which  prevailed  to  some  extent  in 
the  communications  sent  to  them,  to  call  attention  to  the  fact  that 
these  rates  are  maximum  rates,  binding  only  in  the  absence  of  special 
contracts  for  storage,  and  that  merchants  and  the  warehousemen 
will  be  hereafter,  as  heretofore,  entirely  at  liberty  to  make  such 
bargains  in  regard  to  storage  as  may  to  them  seem  good.  Your 
Committee  have  in  almost  all  cases  assented  to  rates  higher  than 
the  present  actual  rates  of  storage,  where  there  is  competition  for 
the  business,  because  special  bargains  are  made  in  almost  all  cases 
where  the  quantities  are  large,  and  for  small  parcels  it  is  manifestly 
just  that  the  warehousemen  should  receive  liberal  rates,  as  they  are 
subjected  to  a  higher  ratio  of  expense  and  more  trouble  in  doing 
such  business.  At  tlie  same  time  your  Committee  have  endeavored 
to  keep  the  rates  within  such  moderate  limits  as  will  lessen  the 
temptation  to  organize  improper  combinations  for  the  general  order 
business,  and  check  the  disposition,  which  has  been  a  subject  of  just 
complaint j  to  hurry  goods  into  public  store  before  the  merchant 
could  procure  his  permits  for  delivery.  Your  Committee,  in  con- 
clusion, are  happy  to  bear  testimony  to  the  earnest  desire  of  the 


XV 

representatives  of  the  Custom  House  to  place  these  revised  rates  ou 
11  satisfactory  basis,  and  of  the  Committee  of  Warehousemen  to 
meet  the  just  demands  of  the  commerce  of  this  port. 

The  following  resolution  is  respectfully  submitted  for  the  favora- 
ble consideration  of  the  Chamber  : 

Resolved,  That  the  revised  rates  of  storage  and  labor  herewith 
submitted,  be  approved  by  the  Chamber  of  Commerce,  and  a  copy 
thereof,  duly  attested  by  the  President,  be  forwarded  to  the  Col- 
lector of  the  Port  of  New- York,  and  recommended  to  the  adoption 
of  the  Secretary  of  the  Treasury.

To  insure  the  safe  and  speedy  transportation  of  bonded  merchan- 
dise, conveyed  by  carts,  drays,  or  lighters,  within  the  Port  of  New- 
York,  to  facilitate  its  delivery  to  the  importers  or  owners,  and  to 
regulate  the  rates  of  cartage,  drayage,  or  lighterage  thereupon,  the 
following  regulations  are  issued,  and  will  take  effect  November  28, 
1870:

The  present  "  Cartage  Districts,"  having  no  valid  existence,  are 
hereby  discontinued. 

II. 

For  each  line  of  foreign  steamers  coming  to  this  port,  the  Collector 
will  appoint  a  cartman,  who  will  be  required  to  give  bonds  for  the 
faithful  performance  of  the  work,  and  who  will  have  general  charge 
of  the  carting  or  trucking  of  dutiable  merchandise — except  as  men- 
tioned in  Section  VIII. — from  the  vessels  of  the  line.  All  carting 
will  be  done  under  his  supervision,  and  he  will  be  required  to  remove 
the  merchandise  from  the  wharf  without  delay,  employing  for  that 
purpose  as  many  Custom  House  carts  as  may  be  necessary. 

III. 

The  Collector  will  also  appoint  one  or  more  cartmen  to  have 
charge  of  the  transfer  of  examined  packages  from  the  Appraiser's 
stores  to  warehouse,  and  of  packages  ordered  from  warehouse  to 
Appraiser's  stores ;  and  this  duty,  as  well  as  all  business  relating  to 
the  cartage  or  drayage  of  bonded  merchandise  from  one  warehouse 
to  another,  shall  be  performed  under  the  general  supervision  of  the 
Deputy  Collector  of  the  Third  Division. 

IV. 

The  cartage  or  drayage  of  merchandise  from  vessels,  other  than 
those  of  regular  foreign  steamer  lines,  will  be  performed  by  Custom 
House  cartmen,  duly  licensed  for  that  purpose. 

V. 

Any  merchant,  cartman,  or  truckman,  who  is  duly  licensed  by  the 
city  authorities,  upon  presenting  his  said  license,  producing  evidence 


19 

of  good  character,  and  executing  a  bond  in  the  sum  of  $5,000,  with 
two  sureties,  for  the  faithful  performance  of  his  duty,  and  taking 
the  usual  oath,  may  be  appointed  a  Custom  House  cartman. 

VI.

regulations,  must  be  marked  in  some  permanent  and  conspicuous 
place,  in  letters  and  figures  of  not  less  than  two  inches  in  length, 
painted  in  white  letters  on  a  black  ground,  "  Custom  House  License,

VII. 

Before  the  license  aforesaid  is  issued,  the  cart  or  truck  to  be  em- 
ployed must  be  brought  to  the  Custom  House,  there  to  be  inspected 
by  a  person  appointed  for  that  purpose  by  the  Collector. 

VIII. 

Importers  of  merchandise  will  be  allowed  the  privilege  of  desig- 
nating the  Custom  House  number  of  the  carts  or  trucks  which  they 
may  select  to  convey  merchandise  imported  by  them  from  vessel  to 
warehouse.  Such  designation  must  be  made  in  writing  on  the  back 
of  the  warehouse  order,  before  it  is  delivered  to  the  Inspectors  of 
the  vessel ;  must  be  signed  by  the  importer  pr  his  authorized  agent, 
and  the  city  numbers  pertaining  to  the  said  Custom  House  numbers 
shall  be  added,  and  the  order  stamped  in  the  Warehouse  Depart- 
ment. 

IX. 

Merchandise  ordered  to  be  transferred  from  one  warehouse  to 
another  warehouse  shall  be  conveyed  by  such  cart  or  truck  as  the 
importer  or  owner  of  the  merchandise  shall  designate,  in  the  same 
manner  as  aforesaid. 

X. 

The  carts,  trucks,  or  lighters  designated  by  the  importer,  must  be 
at  the  vessel  ready  to  take  the  merchandise  when  the  Inspector  is 
ready  to  send  it ;  otherwise,  the  Inspector,  after  waiting  a  reasona- 
ble time,  will  send  the  merchandise  to  warehouse  by  any  bonded 
cart,  dray,  or  lighter  available  for  the  work. 

XI. 

Merchandise  must  be  removed  from  the  docks  as  follows :

shall  make  out  a  ticket  in  the  form  prescribed,  specifying' the  marks, 
numbers,  and  description  of  the  packages  or  merchandise  so  taken, 
also  the  Custom  House  number  of  the  cart  or  truck,  which  ticket 
shall  be  delivered  to  the  proper  cartman  or  truckman  before  the  cart 
or  truck  leaves  the  dock.  Upon  delivery  of  the  merchandise  at  the 
designated  warehouse  or  store,  the  ticket  will  be  signed  by  the 
Storekeeper  or  other  officer  in  charge,  and  be  returned  to  the  cart-

turn the  receipt  to  the  cartman  for  delivery  to  the  Inspector. 

XIV. 

» 

Inspectors  are  required  to  see  that  full  loads  are  taken  in  all  cases, 
wherever  it  is  practicable  to  do  so,  and  only  one  ticket  will  be  fur- 
nished by  the  Inspector  to  the  cartman.  When  a  short  load  is  ne- 
cessarily sent,  the  Inspector  will  state  the  reason  why,  on  the  back 
of  the  ticket,  for  the  information  of  the  Storekeeper. 

XV.. 

Inspectors  are  directed  not  to  send  merchandise  by  any  cart  or 
truck,  unless  the  receipt  for  the  load  previously  sent  by  said  cart  or 
truck  (if  any)  has  been  duly  returned. 

XVI. 

Custom  House  cartmen,  riding  goods  from  a  vessel,  will»be  under

All  complaints  against  cartmen  must  be  made  in  writing  to  the 
Deputy  Collector  of  the  Third  Division.

REGULATIONS  (PART  V.)  UNDER  THE  PROVISIONS  OF  THE 
WAREHOUSE  LAWS. 


CHAPTER  I. 

OF   WAREHOUSES,   THEIR   CREATION   AND   GOVERNMENT. 

ARTICLE  1.  [421.] — Warehouses,  in  which  unclaimed  and  bonded 
merchandise  shall  be  stored,  will  be  known  and  designated  as 
follows : 

CLASS  I. — Stores  owned  or  hired  by  the  United  States.  All  un- 
claimed goods  must  be  deposited  in  these  stores  when  there  are  such 
at  the  port  available  for  the  purpose ;  and  they  are  also  to  be  used 
for  the  storage  of  other  foreign  merchandise  as  hereinafter  provided. 
It  is,  however,  the  policy  of  the  government  to  encourage  the  use 
for  such  purposes  of  warehouses  of  class  three,  and  to  sustain  public 
stores  only  at  some  of  the  larger  ports.  Stores  of  this  class  may  be, 
in  cases  of  emergency,  hired  for  a  temporary  purpose,  with  the  ap- 
proval of  the  department,  at  ports  Avhere  there  are  no  bonded  ware- 
houses of  class  three.  All  the  labor  in  these  stores  shall  be  per- 
formed under  the  superintendence  of  the  officer  in  charge,  at  the 
expense  of  the  owner  or  importer  of  the  merchandise,  and  all  charges 
for  storage,  labor,  and  other  expenses  accruing  on  the  goods  shall 
not  exceed  the  regular  rates  for  such  objects  at  the  port. 

ART.  2.  CLASS  II. — Warehouses  in  the  possession  of  an  importer, 
and  in  his  sole  occupancy,  which  he  may  desire  to  place  under  the 
customs  lock,  in  addition  to  his  own  lock,  (said  locks  to  be  of  a  dif- 
ferent character,)  for  the  purpose  of  storing  dutiable  merchandise 
imported  by  himself,  or  consigned  to  him,  or  purchased  by  him  in 
bond. 

The  entire  building  shall  be  appropriated  to  this  sole  purpose, 
under  the  regulations  hereinafter  provided ;  and  for  the  time  of  the 
customs  officer  necessarily  required  in  attendance  at  such  warehouse 
the  proprietor  shall  pay,  monthly,  to  the  Collector  of  the  port,  such 
sum  as  the  latter  may  deem  proper  for  the  service ;  not  less,  how- 
ever, than  the  pay  of  such  officer,  or  a  proper  proportion  of  the  same 
in  case  one  officer  has  in  charge  more  than  one  warehouse.  All  the 
labor  on  goods  so  stored  must  be  performed  by  the  importer  at  his 
own  expense,  under  the  supervision  of  the  officer  in  charge. 

Before  any  importer  shall  be  permitted  to  use  his  own  warehouse 
for  such  purpose,  he  shall  enter  into  a  bond, 

in  such  sum  and  with  such  sureties  as  may  be  approved,  by  the  Col- 
lector and  this  department. 


36 

AKT.  3. — In  executing  the  bonds  prescribed  in  this  chapter,  there 
must  be  inserted  in  the  body  of  the  bond  the  full  names  of  princi- 
pals and  sureties,  and  their  places  of  residence,  including  street  and 
number,  if  in  a  city,  and  occupation.  The  penalty  of  the  bond  must 
be  written  in  words  at  length,  and  the  premises  must  be  accurately 
described  by  street,  number,  &c.  The  bond- must  be  signed  by  prin- 
cipals and  sureties  in  the  order  in  which  their  names  appear  in  the 
obligation,  and  if  a  partnership  is  a  party  to  the  bond,  each  member 
must  sign  it,  and  the  firm  must  be  described  in  the  body  of  the  ob- 
ligation, thus  :  A  and  B,  doing  business  under  the  style  of  A,  B  & 
Co.  If  a  corporation  is  a  party,  the  bond  must  be  signed  by  an  offi- 
cer of  the  same  duly  authorized,  and  accompanied  by  evidence  of 
such  authority,  and  sealed  with  the  corporate  seal,  and  the  corpora- 
tion must  be  described  in  the  body  of  the  obligation  by  its  legal 
designation.  If  there  be  no  seal,  that  fact  must  be  certified.  If  any 
of  the  signatures  are  by  attorney,  the  original  power  in  due  form 
must  be  filed  at  the  Custom  House,  and  a  certified  copy  sent^with 
the  copy  of  the  bond  to  the  department.  The  bond  must  bear  the 
proper  internal  revenue  stamp,  and  must  have  appended  to  it  an 
affidavit,  sworn  or  affirmed  before  the  Collector  or  his  deputy,  and 
signed  by  the  sureties  in  the  form  following,  viz.  : 

FOEM  No.  2. 
Surety's  Oath. 

I,  ,  residing  at  [street  and  number^]   in  ,  State  of 

,  a  surety  on  the  within  bond,  do  solemnly  swear  that  I  am. 

a  citizen  of  the  United  States,  and  that  I  am  worth  the  sum  of 

dollars  over  and  above  all  debts,  claims,  and  liabilities  of  every  na- 
ture whatsoever,  in  property  unencumbered  and  liable  to  execution. 


POET  or  ,  day  of ,  18 — . 

Personally  appeared  before  me,  at  the  time  and  place  above  writ- 
ten, the  said  ,  known  to  me  to  be  the  identical  person  named 

as  surety  in  the  annexed  bond,   and   subscribed  and  made   oath 
[or  affirmation']  to  the  foregoing. 

,   Collector. 

ART.  4.  CLASS  III. — Warehouses  in  the  occupancy  of  persons  de- 
siring to  engage  in  the  business  of  storing  dutiable  merchandise 
under  the  warehouse  acts,  and  of  performing  the  labor  on  such  goods, 
in  what  is  usually  termed  the  storage  business. 

Warehouses  of  this  class  shall  be  used  solely  for  the  storage  of 
warehoused  goods  and  of  unclaimed  and  seized  goods,  when  ordered 
by  the  Collector,  and  shall  consist  of  an  entire  building. 

All  the  labor  on  the  goods  deposited  in  these  warehouses  must  be 
performed  by  the  owner  or  occupant  of  the  warehouse ;  and  the 
warehouse  shall  be  subject  to  such  further  rules  as  this  department 
may  deem  necessary,  from  time  to  time,  for  the  safe  keeping  of  the 


goods,  and  protection  of  the  revenue,  and  to  be  discontinued  as  a 
bonded  warehouse  when  the  public  interest  may  require.  All  ar- 
rangements, as  regards  the  rates  of  storage  and  the  price  of  labor  on 
bonded  goods  in  these  warehouses,  must  be  made  between  the  im- 
porter and  the  owner  or  occupant  of  the  warehouse  ;  and  all  amounts 
due  for  storage  and  labor  must  be  collected  by  the  latter,  the  Col- 
lector looking  to  the  safe  custody  of  the  merchandise  only  for  the 
security  of  the  revenue. 

Before  any  goods  can  be  deposited  in  a  warehouse  of  this  descrip- 
tion, the  owner  or  occupant  of  the  same  shall  enter  into  bond 

,  in  such  sum,  and  with  such 

sureties,  as  may  be  approved  by  the  Collector  and  this  department. 
******  * 

ART.  5. — Unclaimed  and  seized  goods  shall  be  received  in  ware- 
houses of  this  class  on  the  order  of  the  Collector,  and  the  proprietor 
or  owner  thereof  shall  be  liable  for  the  safe  keeping  of  the  merchan- 
dise as  for  other  goods  ;  and  all  charges  for  labor,  storage  and  other 
expenses  shall  not  exceed,  in  any  case,  the  regular  rates  for  such 
objects  at  the  port  in  question.  In  cases  where  differences  of 
opinion  shall  arise  as  to  the  correctness  of  the  charges  so  made,  the 
decision  of  the  Collector,  or  chief  revenue  officer  of  the  port,  shall  be 
binding  on  both  parties.  The  Collector  shall  enforce  no  permit  to 
withdraw  such  goods  without  payment  of  the  charges  so  assessed, 
and,  if  sold,  shall  cause  the  storage  and  charges  to  be  paid  out  of 
the  proceeds  of  the  sale. 

Each  warehouse  shall  be  placed  in  charge  of  an  officer  of  the 
customs,  under  the  separate  and  different  locks  of  the  Custom  House 
and  of  the  owner  or  occupant  acting  as  agent  for  the  importers  ware- 
housing their  merchandise  in  such  stores.  Should  the  amount  of 
business  at  any  one  warehouse  require,  in  the  judgment  of  the  Col- 
lector, the  services  of  more  than  one  officer,  such  additional  officers 
may  be  assigned  ;  the  owner  or  occupant  shall  be  required  to  pay, 
monthly,  such  sum  as  will  be  equivalent  to  the  salary  of  all  such 
officers,  and  to  provide  a  suitable  office  for  their  accommodation. 

AKT.  6.  CLASS  IV. — For  the  storage  of  wood,  coal,  mahogany, 
dye  woods,  lumber,  molasses,  sugar  in  hogsheads  and  tierces,  rail- 
road, pig  and  bar  iron,  anchors,  chain  cables,  and  other  articles 
specially  authorized,  yards  or  sheds  of  suitable  construction  may  be 
used,  to  be  bonded  in  the  manner  hereinbefore  prescribed.  These 
yards  must  be  inclosed  by  substantial  fences,  not  less  than  twelve 
feet  in  height,  with  gates  provided  with  suitable  bars  and  other 
fastenings,  so  as  to  admit  of  being  secured  by  customs  locks,  and 
must  be  used  exclusively  for  the  storage  of  the  above-named  mer- 
chandise duly  entered  for  warehousing  by  the  owner  or  occupant, 
or  for  the  purpose  of  general  storage  of  warehoused  goods ;  the  pur- 
pose to  be  set  forth  in  the  application,  and  the  bond  to  be  taken 
accordingly,  as  in  case  of  warehouses  of  the  second  and  third  classes. 
The  sheds  must  be  substantially  constructed,  with  or  without  floor- 
ing or  roofing,  as  this  department  and  the  Collector  may  require ; 
and  when  required,  the  roof  or  exterior  shall  be  covered  with  slate, 
metal,  or  other  fire-proof  material.  The  doors  and  other  openings 


3b 

must  be  provided  with  suitable  fastenings,  and  be  secured  by  the 
different  and  separate  locks  of  the  occupant  and  the  customs;  and 
the  occupant  shall  provide  a  proper  room  for  the  use  of  the  officer 
in  charge.  Collectors  of  the  customs  may  order  unclaimed  and 
seized  merchandise,  of  the  description  herein  authorized  to  be  de- 
posited in  sheds  or  yards,  bonded  for  general  storage,  to  be  placed 
in  such  sheds  or  yards  under  the  same  regulations  and  conditions 
as  are  provided  for  the  deposit  of  unclaimed  or  seized  goods  in  ware- 
houses of  class  No.  3. 

ART.  7.  CLASS  V. — In  pursuance  of  the  provisions  of  section  37, 
act  July  18,  186G,  bins,  ov parts  of  warehouses  or  elevators  may  be 
bonded,  as  of  class  2  or  class  3,  for  the  storage  of  grain.  The 
bonded  portions  must  be  separated  from  the  rest  of  the  building, 
and  all  openings  and  entrances  properly  secured,  as  in  other  cases.

ART.  8.  CLASS  VI. — [421,  422.]  Cellars  or  vaults  may  be  used, 
under  the  conditions  hereinafter  prescribed,  as  bonded  warehouses 
of  class  2,  for  the  storage  of  wines  and  distilled  spirits  only. 

The  entire  cellar  or  vault  shall  be  appropriated  to  this  purpose, 
and  shall  have  no  opening  or  entrance  except  the  one  from  the  street 
on  which  the  separate  and  different  locks  of  the  customs  and  the 
owner  or  proprietor  of  the  cellar  shall  be  placed  ;  and  a  bond  shall 
be  entered  into  by  the  owner  according  to  the  foregoing  form,  for 
warehouses  of  class  2. 

One  officer  may  have  in  charge  as  many  cellars  as  in  the  judg- 
ment of  the  Collector  he  can  superintend  efficiently,  not  exceeding 
three,  unless  specially  assented  to  by  the  department.  The  salary 
of  the  officer  in  charge  shall  be  paid  monthly  to  the  Collector  by  the 
owner  or  occupant. 

ART.  9.  [423.]  "Where  a  single  officer  has  charge  of  more  than  one 
warehouse  of  the  second  class,  or  more  than  one  cellar  or  vault,  the 
amount  to  be  contributed  by  each  will  be  determined  by  the  Col- 
lector. 

ART.  10.  [424.]  Whenever  it  is  desired  to  have  any  building  con- 
stituted a  private  bonded  warehouse  of  the  second  and  third  classes, 
the  owner  or  occupant  shall  make  application  in  writing  to  the 
Collector  or  other  chief  customs  officer  of  the  port,  describing  the 
premises,  the  location  and  capacity  of  the  same,  and  setting  forth 
the  purpose  for  which  the  building  is  proposed  to  be  used,  whether 
for  the  storage  of  merchandise  imported  or  consigned  to  himself 
exclusively,  or  for  the  general  storage  of  merchandise  in  bond.  This 
application,  to  entitle  it  to  consideration,  must  be  accompanied  by 
a  certificate  duly  stamped,  signed  by  the  president  or  secretary  of  a 
board  of  fire  underwriters,  where  such  board  exists,  and  at  other 
ports  by  the  proper  officers  or  agents  of  two  or  more  specified  insur- 
ance companies,  that  the  building  offered  is  a  first-class  warehouse, 
according  to  the  classification  of  insurance  offices  at  that  port.  The 
Collector  shall,  thereupon,  direct  the  superintendent  of  warehouses, 
or  other  officer  discharging  the  duties  of  such  superintendent,  to 
examine  and  inspect  the  premises,  and  to  report  in  writing  the  par- 
ticulars in  relation  to  the  location,  construction,  and  dimensions  of 


39 

the  building,  the  means  provided  for  securing  custody  of  the  mer- 
chandise which  may  be  deposited  in  the  same,  and  all  other  facts 
having  a  bearing  on  the  subject.  On  the  receipt  of  this  report  the 
Collector  shall  transmit  the  same  to  this  department,  together  with 
the  application  of  the  party  and  the  insurance  certificates,  and  a 
statement  of  his  own  views  and  opinion,  in  which  should  be  em- 
braced his  certificate  as  to  whether  or  not  the  business  of  the  port 
demands  the  establishment  of  the  warehouse  as  proposed.  If  the 
reports  be  satisfactory,  and  it  appear  that  the  public  interest  will 
be  subserved  thereby,  the  application  will  be  granted  ;  whereupon 
the  owner  or  occupant  will  be  required  to  enter  into  bond  in  the 
form  prescribed!  in  such  penalty,  and  with  such  security,  as  the  Col- 
lector may  deem  proper.  A  certified  copy  of  this  bond  will  be  for- 
warded to  the  department,  with  a  statement  as  to  the  sufficiency  of 
the  penalty  and  the  responsibility  of  the  obligors,  for  its  approval ; 
which  having  been  signified  to  the  Collector,  the  building  may  be 
considered  a  duly  constituted  bonded  warehouse. 

Applications  for  the  bonding  of  warehouses  of  the  fourth,  fifth  and 
sixth  classes  will  be  made  in  a  similar  manner  and  under  like  regu- 
lations ;  except  that  in  the  sixth  class  the  insurance  certificate  shall 
relate  to  the  building  over  the  cellar ;  and  in  regard  to  warehouses 
of  the  fourth  and  fifth  classes  it  shall  certify  that  the  contents  will 
be  insured  at  the  lowest  rates  applicable  to  that  class  of  buildings. 

ART.  11.  [425,  427.]  The  warehouses  described  in  the  second  and 
third  classes  will  be  required,  previous  to  their  being  used  for  the 
storage  of  bonded  goods,  to  have  such  fastenings  on  the  doors  and 
windows  as  the  Collector  may  deem  requisite  for  the  security  of  the 
property ;  and  must  be  separated  from  adjoining  buildings  by  a 
brick  or  stone  wall,  in  which  no  door  or  other  opening  will  be 
permitted. 

After  warehouses  have  been  approved  and  placed  under  customs 
lock,  the  Collector  will  retain  the  right  of  ordering  additional  fas- 
tenings, to  be  provided  by,  and  at  the  expense  of,  the  owners  or 
occupants  having  charge  of  the  premises. 

AET.  12.  [426.]  In  classes  Nos.  2  and  3,  an  office  for  the  accommo- 
dation of  the  owner  or  occupant  may  be  allowed ;  but  such  office 
must  be  separated  by  a  permanent  partition  from  the  rest  of  the 
store,  so  that  the  owner  shall  have  no  access  to  the  goods,  except  in 
the  presence  of  the  officer,  who  must  be  allowed  such  use  of  the 
office  as  may  be  necessary  for  him  in  making  his  daily  return  of 
receipts,  deliveries  and  examinations. 

ART.  13.  [428.]  Should  the  owner  or  occupant  of  any  bonded 
warehouse  neglect  or  refuse  to  pay  to  the  Collector  the  sum  required 
by  these  instructions  for  the  compensation  of  an  officer  or  officers, 
as  the  case  may  be,  or  fail  or  refuse  to  comply  with  any  law  regu- 
lating the  storage  of  merchandise,  or  any  rules  or  regulations  issued 
by  this  department  or  by  the  Collector  for  the  safety  of  the  goods 
stored,  or  governing  the  rates  of  storage  chargeable  on  unclaimed 
goods,  the  Collector  shall  refuse  permission  to  deposit  goods  in  such 
warehouse,  and  report  the  facts  at  once  to  this  department  for  its 
further  action. 


40 

AIIT.  14.  [429.]  The  proprietors  or  occupants  of  bonded  ware- 
houses, on  ten  days'  notice  from  the  Collector,  may  l>e  required  to 
renew  their  bonds  ;  and  if  they  fail  so  to  do,  no  more  goods  shall 
be  sent  to  their  warehouses,  and  those  within  the  same  shall  be  re- 
moved at  their  expense.  And  the  proprietor  or  occupant  of  any 
such  warehouse  shall  have  the  right  to  relinquish  the  business  at 
any  time  on  giving  timely  notice  to  the  owners  of  the  merchandise 
deposited  therein,  and  to  the  Collector,  and  paying  the  expense  of 
the  removal  of  the  goods  to  other  warehouses. 

The  date  of  discontinuance  will  be  endorsed  on  the  bond,  which 
will  be  retained  at  the  Custom  House. 

AKT.  15.  In  all  cases  of  the  discontinuance  of  a  bonded  warehouse 
of  any  class,  it  is  the  duty  of  the  Collector  to  notify  the  Secretary  of 
the  Treasury  immediately,  with  the  date  and  cause.  The  Collector 
must  also  exercise  vigilant  oversight  upon  the  solvency  of  the  bonds 
given  for  warehouses,  and  promptly  notify  the  department  of  the 
death  or  pecuniary  embarrassment  or  insolvency  of  any  of  the  par- 
ties, and  of  any  circumstances  which  make  it  advisable  to  require  a 
new  bond.  New  bonds  must  in  all  cases  be  given  when  a  ware- 
house passes  into  the  hands  of  new  principals,  as  where  changes 
take  place  in  partnerships.  Alterations  in  warehouses  after  being 
bonded  can  be  made  only  by  permission  from  the  Collector,  and,  if 
of  such  a  character  as  to  make  any  material  change  in  the  premises, 
previous  permission  must  be  procured  from  the  department.  It  is 
the  duty  of  the  Collector  to  advise  the  department  of  all  changes  in 
the  surroundings  of  bonded  premises  likely  to  affect  their  security. 
If  bonded  premises  are  burned,  or  otherwise  destroyed,  immediate 
notice,  with  full  particulars,  must  be  commuuicated  by  the  Collector 
to  the  department,  and  the  facts  endorsed  on  the  bond.  If  such 
premises  are  rebuilt,  they  cannot  be  used  as  a  bonded  warehouse 
unless  bonded  anew ;  the  same  is  true  of  warehouses  for  any  cause 
discontinued. 

ART.  16.  [542,543.]  The  storage  charged  on  goods  deposited  in 
the  public  stores  must  be  the  usual  rate  at  that  port.  The  charges 
for  labor  at  these  stores  must  be  at  a  rate  that  will  remunerate  the 
Government.  Collectors  failing  to  demand  and  receive  the  amounts 
due  for  the  storage  and  labor  accruing  in  public  stores,  or  the  pay 
of  officers  in  charge  of  bonded  warehouses,  will  be  charged  with 
such  sums  in  their  accounts  by  the  Commissioner  of  Customs,  whose 
attention  has  been  specially  directed  to  these  instructions. 

All  moneys  received  by  Collectors  from  owners  or  occupants  of 
private  bonded  warehouses  in  payment  for  officers  in  attendance  at 
the  premises,  and  all  sums  received  for  storage  and  other  expenses 
in  public  stores,  must  be  accounted  for  in  their  accounts  with  this 
department,  and  be  certified  by  the  naval  officer,  if  any ;  to  enable 
that  officer  to  give  such  certificate,  all  permits  having  amounts  to 
be  received  for  storage,  &c.,  must  be  presented  to  him ;  and  he  will 
keep  a  daily  record  of  such  amounts  to  be  paid  to  the  cashier  or 
other  collecting  officer. 

ART.  17.  [544,545.]   No  fire  must  be  permitted  in  any  warehouse, 


41 

except  in  the  business  office  attached  thereto ;  and  where  lights  are 
required,  lanterns  must  be  used  such  as  are  in  use  in  naval  vessels. 

The  Collector  will  cause  the  regulations  of  the  department  in  re- 
ference to  the  management  and  daily  government  of  warehouses, 
with  such  other  rules  as  he  may  deem  necessary  to  carry  the  same 
into  effect,  to  be  placed  in  a  conspicuous  place  in  each  warehouse. 

OF    THE    OFFICERS    IN    CHARGE    OF   WAREHOUSES. 

ART.  18.  [516,517.]  All  bonded  warehouses,  whether  public  or 
private,  as  well  as  the  stores  occupied  by  the  appraisers,  where 
there  are  such,  will  be  placed  by  the  Collector  in  the  custody  of  offi- 
cers designated  for  the  purpose,  to  be  known  as  storekeepers,  who 
will  always  keep  the  keys  thereof  in  their  own  possession,  and  per- 
sonally superintend  the  opening  and  closing  of  the  doors  and  win- 
dows. They  will  be  required  to  be  in  constant  attendance  at  the 
stores  from  seven  o'clock,  A.  M.,  to  sunset  from  April  1  to  October  1, 
and  for  the  residue  of  the  year  from  eight  o'clock,  A.  M.,  to  sunset, 
except  at  the  time  necessary  for  their  meals,  not  over  one  hour  at 
noon,  when  the  stores  will  be  closed. 

They  will  not  suffer  any  goods  to  be  received,  delivered,  sam- 
pled, packed  or  repacked,  except  in  their  presence  or  the  presence  of 
some  person  designated  as  an  assistant  by  the  Collector,  nor  with- 
out a  written  order  from  such  Collector.  They  will  keep  accurate 
accounts  of  all  goods  received,  delivered,  and  transferred,  and  of  all 
orders  for  sampling,  packing,  repacking,  &c.  They  will  also  make 
daily  returns  of  all  goods  received  and  delivered,  and  will  inform 
the  Collector,  or  warehouse  superintendent,  if  there  be  one,  of  any 
infraction  of  the  warehouse  rules  and  regulations  by  inspectors  or 

other  persons. 

*********** 

ART.  21.  [519.]  Officers  in  charge  of  warehouses  of  any  class  will 
not  be  permitted  to  receive  any  reward  or  gratuity  from  any  source 
in  addition  to  their  pay  from  the  United  States.  Such  is  the  pro- 
vision of  the  seventy-third  section  of  act  of  1799,  which  Collectors 
will  rigidly  enforce. 

ART.  22.  [520.]  No  officer  shall  be  allowed  to  have  under  his 
charge  more  than  one  warehouse  of  any  class  used  for  general 
storage  ;  and  it  shall  be  the  duty  of  .the  Collector  at  least  once  a 
year  (or  as  much  oftener  as  he  may  deem  requisite)  to  transfer  the 
officers  in  charge  of  bonded  warehouses  from  one  warehouse  to 
another,  thus  preventing  any  officer  having  charge  of  any  one  ware- 
house for  a  longer  period  than  one  year.  The  officer  so  transferred 
shall  furnish  the  Collector  with  an  inventory  of  the  goods  in  such 
warehouse;  and  it  shall  be  the  duty  of  his  successor,  immediately 
on  taking  charge,  to  examine  the  goods  to  see  if  they  agree  with 
the  inventory ;  and  the  result  of  this  examination  shall  be  communi- 
cated to  the  Collector  within  ten  days  from  the  date  of  his  taking 
charge.  Should  any  discrepancies  be  found  between  the  statement 
of  the  officer  transferred  and  the  inventory  taken,  the  collector  will 
immediately  investigate  the  case,  at  the  same  time  reporting  the 
facts  to  this  department.

ART.  23.  [-514.]  In  all  ports  where  the  nature  and  extent  of  busi- 
ness may  require  such  an  officer,  the  Collector  shall  designate,  with 
the  approbation  of  this  department,  some  suitable  person  to  be  styled 
the  superintendent  of  warehouses,  whose  duty  it  shall  be  to  superin- 
tend all  the  public  stores  and  bonded  warehouses  in  such  ports, 
visiting  them  daily  where  their  number  will  admit,  or,  if  not,  as 
often  as  may  be,  to  ascertain  whether  the  officers  are  prompt  and 
regular  in  their  attendance,  the  books  correctly  kept,  the  merchan- 
dise properly  stored,  and  all  the  regulations  prescribed  by  this 
department  and  the  Collector  faithfully  observed  and  diligently  en- 
forced. It  shall  also  be  his  duty,  when  required  by  the  Collector, 
to  examine  and  inspect  such  premises  as  may  be  offered  as  bonded, 
warehouses,  and  make  report*  thereon  to  the  Collector;  and  gene- 
rally to  perform  such  duties  in  relation  to  the  care  of  the  warehouses, 
and  the  custody  of  the  goods  deposited  therein,  as  may  be  necessary 
to  their  security  and  the  protection  of  the  revenue. 

ART.  24.  [515.]  He  will  also  superintend,  with  the  officer  of  the 
store  or  warehouse,  all  silks  withdrawn  for  printing,  dyeing,  &c.,  as 
hereinafter  provided,  taking  an  account  of  the  same.  And  it  shall 
be  the  duty  of  the  person  or  persons  withdrawing  such  goods  for 
dyeing,  &c.,  to  notify  the  Collector,  that  the  superintendent  may 
be  present  at  the  place  and  time  required.  Such  superintendent 
shall  be  stationed  where  most  convenient,  and  shall  be  required  to 
make  a  daily  report  to  the  Collector  of  every  violation  of  the  ware- 
house instructions  and  rules,  and  of  all  other  matters  coming  under 
his  observation.  It  is  intended  that  this  officer,  under  the  directions 
of  the  Collector,  shall  have  a  general  supervision  of  the  warehouse 
business  in  the  several  warehouses,  to  see  that  the  laws  and  regula- 
tions are  faithfully  observed  by  the  officers  in  charge  of  each,  and 
by  the  importer  or  agent  having  joint  custody. 

ART.  25.  Pie  will  also  be  charged  with  the  supervision  of  the 
cartage,  drayage  or  lighterage  of  all  merchandise  sent  to  warehouse 
under  bond,  or  withdrawn  therefrom  for  exportation,  and  also  the 
cartage,  drayage  or  lighterage  of  all  merchandise  ordered  to  the 
Appraiser's  office  for  examination  or  to  the  public  stores  for  custody, 
and  will  take  care  that  the  work  is  promptly  and  faithfully  per- 
formed, that  the  necessary  receipts  for  merchandise  are  returned  in 
due  season  to  the  officers  sending  or  delivering  the  same,  and  that 
the  regulations  for  the  government  of  this  branch  of  the  service  are 
in  all  respects  complied  with,  and  every  infraction  of  the  same 
promptly  reported  to  the  Collector. 

ART.  26.  [563.]  The  Deputy  Collector,  who. shall  be  designated 
by  the  Collector  to  take  general  superintendence  of  the  warehouse 
business,  shall  be  deemed  ex  officio  storekeeper  of  the  port.  The 
warehouse  superintendent  and  storekeepers  at  the  several  stores, 
with  the  clerks  employed  on  the  store  accounts,. and  on  the  ware- 
house business  generally,  shall  be  under  his  immediate  directions ; 
subject,  however,  to  the  control  and  supervision  of  the  Collectonof 
the  Port. 

***** 

ART.  39.  [546.]  All  merchandise  in  public  store  or  bonded  ware- 


43 

liouse,  duly  entered  for  warehousing,  may  be  examined  at  any  time 
during  the  business  hours  of  the  port  by  the  importer,  consignee, 
or  agent,  who  shall  have  liberty  to  take  samples  of  his  goods  in 
reasonable  quantities,  according  to  the  usage  of  the  port ;  make  all 
needful  repairs  of  packages,  and  to  repack  the  goods  if  necessary 
for  their  safety  or  preservation,  provided  their  original  contents  are 
placed  in  the  new  packages,  and  the  original  marks  and  numbers 
placed  thereon,  in  the  mode  prescribed  in  the  75th  section  of  the  act 
of  2d  March,  1799,  and  32d  section  of  the  act  of  1st  March,  1823.  But 
no  samples  shall  be  taken,  nor  any  goods  exhibited  or  examined, 
unless  on  written  order  of  the  Collector,  countersigned  by  the  naval 
officer,  under  the  immediate  supervision  of  an  officer  of  the  customs, 
and  by  order  of  the  importer,  owner,  or  consignee,  and  at  his  ex- 
pense; nor  shall  any  package  be  repaired,  or  goods  repacked,  with- 
out a  written  order  from  the  Collector  of  the  port,  countersigned  by 
the  naval  officer,  which  will  be  granted  only  when  the  same  is  ne- 
cessary for  the  present  safety  or  preservation  of  the  contents. 
Goods  imported  in  bulk,  and  not  in  present  danger  of  deterioration, 
cannot  under  these  provisions  be  placed  in  packages,  while  in  ware- 
house, for  the  convenience  of  the  owner,  even  though  he  may  design 
to  export  them  under  circumstances  such  that  if  not  so  packed  they 
cannot  reach  their  destination  in  safety. 

ART.  40.  The  21st  section  of  the  act  of  July  14, 1862,  provides  that 
"  all  drugs,  medicines,  and  chemical  preparations,  entered  for  ex- 
portation and  deposited  in  warehouse  or  public  store,  may  be  ex- 
ported by  the  owner  or  owners  thereof  in  the  original  package,  or 
otherwise,  subject  to  such  regulations  as  shall  be  prescribed  by  the 
Secretary  of  the  Treasury. 

Whenever  the  owner  or  owners,  or  consignees,  desire  to  export 
any  drugs,  medicines,  or  chemical  preparations,  otherwise  than  in 
the  original  packages,  written  application  for  such  export  must  be 
made  by  him  or  them  to  the  Collector  of  the  port  where  the  drugs, 
medicines,  and  chemical  preparations  maybe;  such  application  to 
specify  the  name  of  the  article  proposed  to  be  exported,  and,  if  less 
than  the  entire  package  the  quantity  thereof,  and  the  kind  of  pack- 
age in  which  it  is  proposed  to  make  the  export,  whether  a  box, 
chest,  bag,  or  bale,  and  also  to  give  the  name  of  the  vessel  in  which 
the  original  importation  was  made  and  the  date  thereof. 

Upon  such  application  the  Collector  will  make  the  proper  indorse- 
ment, directing  the  opening  of  the  original  package  and  the  re- 
packing of  so  much  as  may  be  specified  in  the  application ;  and  the 
package  so  made  up  shall  be  marked  and  numbered  in  the  same 
manner  as  the  original  package.  The  officer  in  charge  of  the  store 
in  which  the  articles  shall  have  been  deposited  (which  imtst  be  a 
bonded  warehouse  of  class  2)  shall  cause  the  opening  and  repacking 
to  be  done  under  his  immediate  supervision. 

Where  the  merchandise  is  to  be  weighed,  gauged,  or  measured, 
it  shall  be  done  by  the  United  States  weigher,  ganger,  or  measurer, 
as  the  case  may  be,  prior  to  being  repacked.  All  labor  performed 
and  services  rendered  under  this  regulation  shall  be  under  the  su- 
pervision of  an  officer  of  the  customs  and  at  the  owner's  expense. 

ABT.  41.  [430,  538.]  Merchandise  duly  deposited  in  a  warehouse 


44 

under  bond,  and  entitled  to  remain  therein,  may  be  transferred  to 
another  warehouse,  on  the  request  of  the  owner  or  importer  thereof; 
or  when  an  importer  may  obtain  the  privilege  of  using  a  store  or 
cellar  as  a  warehouse  of  class  2,  and  may  desire  to  transfer  thereto 
such  merchandise  imported  or  owned  by  or  consigned  to  him,  it  may 
be  done  on  his  written  request  to  the  Collector  ;  but  such  transfers 
shall,  in  all  cases,  be  at  the  risk  and  expense  of  the  party  requesting 
it,  and  under  the  supervision  of  an  officer  of  the  customs. 

OF   THE    ENFORCEMENT    OF    LIENS   FOB   FREIGHT. 

ART.  142.  Persons  claiming  a  lien  for  freight  upon  imported  goods 
in  the  possession  of  a  Collector,  or  other  chief  officer  of  the  customs, 
must  serve  upon  him  a  written  or  printed  notice,  signed  by  the  lien 
claimant,  and  designating  particularly  the  goods,  packages,  marks,

of  the  goods,  and  the  amount  claimed. 

This  notice  must  be  signed  by  the  lien  claimant,  or  his  agent  duly 
authorized,  and  filed  at  the  Custom  House,  and  must  be  verified  by 
affidavit  as  follows :

forth  in  the  annexed  notice  are  true  as  alleged ;  and  that  the  sum 
claimed  therein  is  still  due,  and  was  a  legal  subsisting  lien  upon  the

PORT  OF  . 

Sworn  to  and  subscribed  before  me,  this day  of ,

,  Collector. 

A  record  book  or  docket  will  be  provided  in  which  shall  be  imme- 
diately entered  an  abstract  or  minute  of  every  such  notice  received. 
This  book  shall  have  an  alphabetical  index  in  which  to  enter  the 
names  of  the  owners,  consignees  or  importers,  and  also  the  names  of 
the  vessels.  The  notices  themselves  will  be  numbered  consecutively 
and  carefully  preserved. 

The  usual  lee  of  twenty  cents  will  be  charged  for  verifying  the 
oath  attached  to  the  notice,  which  must  be  paid  to  the  Collector^ 
and  by  him  accounted  for  as  other  fees. 

The  authority  and  duty  of  the  Collector  extends  simply  to  refuse 
to  deliver  goods  covered  by  such  a  notice  until  satisfied  that  the 
debt  thus  claimed  and  verified  has  been  paid  or  secured.  He  has 
no  authority  to  deliver  the  goods  to  the  lien  claimant,  nor  to  adju- 
dicate disputes  respecting  the  validity  of  the  claim,  nor  to  recognise 
any  other  lien  than  that  for  freight.
